RELATION SHIP OF AGRICULTURE WITH OTHER SCIENCE

Agriculture is a system of farming based .how ever agriculture has its origin & close relation ship largely with science of physics, Botany, chemistry, Zoology, Agro meteorology and economics.

PHYSICS,
The study of physics is very important in relative to plant nutrient and growth in agriculture operations and practices, use of hand tools and tillage implements which are working on physical and mechanicals laws .The efficiency of such implements is depending upon its construction.

BOTANY,
Botany is science of plants and its structures, growth, habits and life cycle, It deals with morphology ,histology, physiology and ecology of such plant which we apply in agriculture .The plant breeding as a branch of botany play major role in development of present agriculture by evolving
New varieties with desire able characters suitable to different soil and climatic conditions .

CHEMISTRY,
Chemistry as science of matter gives systematic knowledge of composition of matter, It not only deals with composition and properties of soil particles , but this branch of science is involved in dealing with soil physics (nature of soil ), Geology ( science of earth) , nature of soil in relation to fertilizers, manures and organic matters
Chemistry also deals with dairy products, insecticides, , pesticides, and growth hormones .The study of soil helps in selecting different crops and implements to particular type of soil .

ZOOLOGY,
Zoology is a biological science deals with animals and their mode of life that helps us on the farms, In agriculture, The science of raising animals for different purposes known as “Animal Husbandry” has close relation with Zoology . The other related science known as “ ENTOMOLGY” study of insect ,pest is also a part of zoology , and this science is helping to farmer deal with the agricultural crops and successful farming How ever, poultry farming, parasitology, fish farming, Apiculture, sericulture and veterinary are also its branches .

AGRO METEOROLOGY,
This is science of weather and climates which deals with climates of any particular region that have direct relation to agriculture .
Agro meteorology is also known as agriculture meteorology Or Agro climatology including weather and climatic components such as rainfall, temperature, humidity, sunlight, wind and length of day . for optimum crop growth specific climatic conditions are required.

AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS,
It deals with the study of agricultural commodities, capital investment , labor, trade , transportation and marketing of agricultural price.
